Fraudulent Facebook accounts have been popping up, where third parties use someone else’s name, photos or other information to spam the person’s friends list. If you are a victim of a Facebook profile fraud, report the offense to Facebook, spread the word to your friends that there is a fake profile and contact your local law enforcement authorities. Fake profiles can be considered identity theft, harassment and cyber bullying.
